REGULATIONS UNDER THE ACT OF JUNE 7, 1832.
The following regulations have been adopted:
This law has been construed to extend, as well to the line, as to every branch of the Staff of the Army, and to include under the terms "Continental Line," "State troops," "militia," and "volunteers," all persons enlisted, drafted, or who volunteered and who were bound to military service, but not those who were occasionally employed with the army upon civil contracts, such as Clerks to Commissaries and to Store Keepers, &c. Teamsters, Boatmen, &c. Persons who served on board of Private Armed Vessels are also excluded from the benefits of the law, as well as persons who turned out as patrols, or were engaged in guarding particular places at night, and were not recognized as being in actual military service.
Four general classes of cases are embraced in this law:
 1. The Regular Troops.  2. The State Troops, Militia, and Volunteers.  3. Persons employed in the Naval service.  4. Indian Spies. 
As rolls of the regular troops in the Revolutionary War exist in this Department, all persons, claiming the benefit of this law as officers, non-commissioned officers, musicians or privates, will in the first instance, make application by transmitting the following declaration, which will be made before a Court of Record of the County where such applicant resides. And every Court having by law a seal and Clerk is considered a Court of Record.
DECLARATION,
In order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress of the 7th of June, 1832.
State, Territory, or District of } ss. County of }
On this _____ day of _____ personally appeared (a) before A. B. a resident (b) of _____ in the county of _____ and State, Territory or District of _____ aged (c) _____ years, who being first duly sworn, according to law, doth on his oath make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the provision made by the act of Congress, passed June 7th, 1832. That he enlisted in the Army of the United States in the year (d) _____, with _____ and served in the _____ (e) regiment of the _____ line, under the following named officers:
[Here set forth the names and rank of the Field and Company Officers; the time he left the service; (and if he served under more than one term of enlistment, he must specify the particular period, and rank and names of his officers;) the town or county and State in which he resided when he entered the service; the battles, if any, in which he was engaged, and the country through which he marched. [This form is to be varied so as to apply to the cases of officers and persons who belonged to the militia, volunteers, navy, &c.]
He hereby relinquishes every claim (f) whatever to a pension or an annuity, except the present, and he declares that his name is not on the Pension Roll of any Agency in any State, or (if any) only on that of the Agency in the State of _____
Sworn to and subscribed the day and year aforesaid.
A. B.
[And then will follow the certificate of the Court.]
And the said Court do hereby declare their opinion (g) that the above named applicant was a revolutionary soldier, and served as he states.
I _____ of the Court of _____ do hereby certify (h) that the foregoing contains the original proceedings of the said Court in the matter of the application of _____ for a pension.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal of office (i) this _____ day of _____ &c.
If, on examination of the proper record the names of applicants, making such declaration, cannot be found, they will produce such proof as the rule given in note (j) points out.
Every applicant who claims a pension by virtue of service in the State Troops, Volunteers or Militia, except those who belonged to the New Hampshire Militia and State Troops of Virginia, will make and subscribe a declaration similar to the foregoing, with the following additions, viz:
(k) We, A. B., a Clergyman, residing in the _____ and C. D. residing in (the same) _____ hereby certify, that we are well acquainted with _____, who has subscribed and sworn to the above declaration; that we believe him to be _____ years of age; that he is reputed and believed, in the neighborhood where he resides, to have been a soldier of the Revolution, and that we concur in that opinion.
Sworn and subscribed the day and year aforesaid.
[And then will follow the certificate of the Court.]
And the said Court do hereby declare their opinion, after the investigation of the matter, and after putting the interrogatories prescribed by the War Department, that the above named applicant was a Revolutionary Soldier, and served as he states. And the Court further certifies, that it appears to them that A. B.
who has signed the preceding certificate is a clergyman, resident in the _____ and that C. D., who has also signed the same is a resident in the _____ and is a credible person, and that their statement is entitled to credit.
I, _____ Clerk of the Court of _____ do hereby certify that the foregoing contains the original proceedings of the said Court, in the matter of the application of _____ for a pension.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal of office, this _____ day of _____ &c.
Every applicant will produce the best proof in his power. This is the original discharge or commission; but if neither of these can be obtained, the party will so state under oath, and will then procure, if possible, the testimony of at least one credible witness, stating in detail his personal knowledge of the services of the applicant, and such circumstances connected therewith, as may have a tendency to throw light upon the transaction.
If such surviving witness cannot be found, the applicant will so state in his declaration (l) and he will also, whether he produce such evidence or not, proceed to relate all the material facts, which can be useful in the investigation of his claim, and in the comparison of his narrative with the events of the period of his alleged service, as they are known at the Department. A very full account of the services of each person.

will be indispensable to a favorable action upon his case. The facts stated will afford one of the principal means of corroborating the declaration of the applicant, if true, or of detecting the imposition, if one be attempted; and unless, therefore, these are amply and clearly set forth, no favorable decision can be expected. All applicants will appear before some Court of Record in the County, in which they reside, and there subscribe and be sworn to, one of the declarations above provided, according to the nature of his case.
The Court will propound the following (m) interrogatories to all applicants for a pension, on account of service in the Militia, State troops, or Volunteers, except the Militia of New Hampshire and the State troops of Virginia.
 1. Where and in what year were you born?  2. Have you any record of your age, and if so, where is it?  3. Where were you living when called into service; where have you lived since the Revolutionary war, and where do you now live?  4. How were you called into service; were you drafted, did you volunteer, or were you a substitute? And if a substitute, for whom?  5. State the names of some of the Regular Officers, who were with the troops, where you served; such Continental and Militia Regiments as you can recollect, and the general circumstances of your services.  6. { To a Soldier. } Did you ever receive a discharge from the service, and if so, by whom was it given and what has become of it? { To an Officer. } Did you ever receive a commission, and if so, by whom was it signed, and what has become of it? 
7. State the names of persons to whom you are known in your present neighborhood, and who can testify as to your character for veracity, and their belief of your services as a soldier of the Revolution.
The Court will see that the answers to these questions are embodied in the declaration, and they are requested to annex their opinions of the truth of the statement of the applicant.
The applicant will further produce in Court, if the same can be done, in the opinion of the Court, without too much expense and inconvenience to him, two respectable persons, one of whom should be the nearest clergyman, if one lives in the immediate vicinity of such applicant, who can testify, from their acquaintance with him, that they believe he is of the age he represents, and that he is reputed and believed in the neighborhood to have been a Revolutionary soldier, and that they concur in that opinion. If one of these persons is a Clergyman, the Court will so certify, and they will also certify, to the character and standing of other persons, giving such certificates.
The traditional evidence of service is deemed very important, in the absence of any direct proof, except the declaration of the party. And the Courts are requested to be very particular in the enquiry whether the belief is general, and whether any doubts have ever existed upon the subject.
Applicants unable to appear in Court by reason of bodily infirmity, may make the declaration before required, and submit to the examination, before a Judge or Justice of a Court of Record of the proper county, and the Judge or Justice will execute the duties, which the Court is herein requested to perform, and will also certify that the applicant cannot, from bodily infirmity, attend the Court.
Whenever any official act is required to be done by a Judge or Justice of a Court of Record, or by a Justice of the peace, the certificate of the Secretary of State or Territory, or of the proper Clerk of the Court or County, under his seal of office, will be annexed, stating that such person is a Judge or Justice of a Court of Record, or a Justice of the Peace, and that the signature annexed is his genuine signature.
No payments can be made on account of the services of any person, who may have died before the taking effect of the act of June 7, 1832; and in case of death subsequent thereto, and before the declaration herein required is made, the parties interested will transmit such evidence as they can procure, taken and authenticated before a Court of Record, showing the services of the deceased, the period of his death, the opinion of the neighborhood respecting such services, the title of the claimant, and the opinion of the Court upon the whole matter.
(a) The declarant must appear in open Court, unless prevented from doing so by reason of bodily infirmity; in which case the declarant will follow the rule laid down for his presence.
(b) The declarant must make his declaration in the county where he resides. If he should fail to do so, he must assign a sufficient reason for not conforming to the rule.
(c) The age of the claimant must invariably be mentioned.
(d) The declarant must mention the period or periods of the war when he served.
(e) Every continental officer or soldier must give the name of the Colonel under whom he served; otherwise a satisfactory examination of the claim cannot be had. Every claimant must state, with precision, the length of his service, and the different grades in which he served, in language so definite as to enable the Department to determine to what amount of pension he is entitled. In a case where the applicant cannot, by reason of the loss of memory, state precisely how long he served, he should amend his declaration by making an affidavit in the following words:
"Personally appeared before me, the undersigned, a Justice of the Peace, &c. A. B. who, being duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that, by reason of old age, and the consequent loss of memory, he cannot swear positively as to the precise length of his service, but, according to the best of his recollection, he served not less than the periods mentioned below, and in the following grades:—For _____ years _____ months, and _____ days, I served as a _____ For _____ months and _____ days, I served as a _____; and for such service I claim a pension."
It is important, in all cases, to determine with precision the period for which each applicant served, and the particular rank he held, as the law directs the pension to be paid according to the grade of the pensioner and the length of his service. The use of the phrase about here or four months, is too indefinite, and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable. Some persons who apply for pensions merely state that they served two years in the militia, &c. without specifying the tours, the names of the officers, and other particulars respecting their service. This form of a declaration is highly objectionable. It must, in every case, be clearly shown under what officers the applicant served; the duration of each term of engagement; the particular place or places where the service was performed; that the applicant served with an organized corps called into service by competent authority; that he was either in the field or on garrison; and for the time during which the service was performed, he was not employed in any civil pursuit.
(f) The law makes the relinquishment indispensable.
(g) The opinion of the Court is always required.
(h) The Clerk must give his certificate in every case.
(i) The Clerk must affix his seal, and if it has no device or inscription by which it can be distinguished from any other seal, or if he has no public seal of office, the certificate of a Member of Congress, proving the official character and signature of the certifying officer, should accompany the papers.
Mode of authenticating papers.
In every instance where the certificate of the certifying officer who authenticates the papers is not written on the same sheet of paper which contains the affidavit, or other papers authenticated, the certificate must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or narrow ribbon, the ends of which must pass under the seal of office of the certifying officer, so as to prevent any paper from being improperly attached to the certificate.
Proof of Service.
(1) In a case where the name of the applicant is not found on the records of the Department, he must prove his service by two credible witnesses, who are required to set forth in their affidavits the time of the claimant's entering the service, and the time and manner of his leaving the same, as well as the regiment, company, and line to which he belonged. The magistrate who may administer the oaths must certify to the credibility of the witnesses, and the official character and signature of the magistrate must be certified by the proper officer, under his seal of office.
(2) The notes from (a) to (e) are all equally applicable to the cases of Militia men, Volunteers and State Troops. The proof required by rule in note (1) applies to continental troops only.
(3) This traditional evidence is indispensable in militia cases.
(4) If a witness cannot be found, the declarant must state the fact.
(5) The answers to the interrogatories must all be written, and sent to the War Department, with the declaration.

Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request information in regard to Jacob Frick, a private in the Pennsylvania militia, War of the Revolution, pensioner of Union County, Illinois in 1833. This pensioner's name was Jacob Frick.
The data which follow were obtained from papers in pension claim, W. 23063, based upon the service of Jacob Frick in the Revolutionary War. This is the record of the only Jacob Frick found in the Revolutionary War records of this office.
Jacob Frick was born in the year 1751 or 1752 in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The names of his parents were not given.
While a resident of Rowan County, North Carolina, Jacob Frick volunteered in 1775 or 1776 and served as a private with the North Carolina troops, as follows-
Three months in Captain Windle Miller's company; six months in Captain George H. Barrier's company; three months in Captain Osburne's company; three months in Captain John Bullin's company. There were no definite dates of service given; his service was in pursuit of Tories and Cherokee Indians, during the which time he assisted in capturing about two hundred Tories and in destroying  destroying twelve or thirteen Indian towns.
He moved from North Carolina about 1825 to Union

Union County, Illinois.
The soldier, Jacob Frick, was allowed pension on his application executed, October 15, 1832, then a resident of Union County, Illinois. He died there January 27, 1839.
Jacob Frick married in the month of September, 1788 in Rowan County, North Carolina, Elizabeth. Her maiden was not given, nor date and place of birth shown.
The widow, Elizabeth Frick, was allowed pension on her application executed, September 5, 1843, at which time she was seventy-three years old, and a resident of Union County, Illinois, where she was still living in 1849.
Paul Frick in 1844, 1846 and 1849 was Justice of the Peace for Union County, Illinois, no relationship to the family shown.
In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension, name and address of person paid, and possibly date of death of Elizabeth Frick, you should apply to The Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, Washington, D. O., and give the following-

Sir enclosed I herewith send you the affidavits of Mrs. Frick Mrs. Healtshausen and also my Affidavit of Identity of Mrs. Frick you will see the propriety of an affidavit being made by me as I have drawn the money as well for her as also for Mrs. Healtshausen. I dislike becoming a witness in any case, when it can well be avoided, and should regret in this case but for the fact that no one else could know these facts as well as myself for the purpose of identifying her as the person when her Declaration was originally made and she expected to be able to prove the fact of her marriage with Mr. Frick by the records in Ralls County Mo. C. and did not state that she had no record evidence to prove her marriage to supply this omission the enclosed affidavit of hers is forwarded. Mrs. Healtshausen's affidavit is sent with some interlineations and erasures. I regretted that I was without paper at her house and thought however by the magistrates noticing them as she has done in the affidavits these matters would be cured. perhaps it would have been better to have written it out without - at erasures and cause her to recur to it again if however you shall find it objectionable for this or any other cause you will please let me know. You did not in your letter of the 5th April last.

name the affidavit of Mrs Elizabeth Sillars who saw Mrs Frederick Morris a fact to which in her affidavit she swears to, and also the month - year of the Marriage, but will not state a day neither will Mrs Healy have but both say that they can and do swear that the Marriage took place in the month of September 1788, it occurred to me that this is all sufficient, as it determines the date, with sufficient certainty. There being no pension laws conflicting, as to any particular day in the month of Sept. 1788.
After examining the proofs submitted herewith will you please inform me of the result of the examination.

Sir I herewith send you the Declaration of Elizabeth Trickett, for a pension. She proved that she was the widow of Mr. Trickett in order to draw the arrears of pension after his death, the evidence of which is on file in the pension office, if that is not sufficient evidence then I will get the proof again. I have been trying to prove the illegality of their Marriage from Carolina but
have not yet succeeded, I cannot get the officers there to attend to the matter. It is my intention to send a person there for the purpose of exam- ining the proper officers, but I know no reason in law why that should be any better than the decision of the Court of Circuit. Some officers that she was the widow of Jacob Trickett when she drew the arrears of his pension. However if the reference to proof are not sufficient I hope you will inform me at the earliest opportunity after the examination of the Declaration.

Revolutionary War data furnished by this office are obtained from claims for pension and bounty land made to the United States, based upon military service of soldiers in that war.
A search of the records fails to show such claims on file on account of the Revolutionary War services of a Peter Miller, as described by you. It is suggested as a possible means of securing data relative to this soldier, that you apply to The Adjutant General, War Department, Washington, D. C.
The data which follow were obtained from the papers on file in pension claim, W. 23063, based upon the military service of Jacob Frick during the War of the Revolution.
He was born in 1751 or 1752 in Bucks County, Pennsylvania; the names of his parents are not given.

About the year 1825, Jacob Frick moved from North Carolina to Union County, Illinois. He was allowed pension on his application executed October 15, 1832, then living in Union County, Illinois. He died there January 27, 1839.
Jacob Frick married September, 1788 in Rowan County, North Carolina, Elizabeth; her maiden name is not stated, nor the date and place of her birth.
